Tommy was once a neighborhood stray, but now he has a forever home with a special family.

Sympson2612 posted a series of adorable photos on Reddit that have quickly gone viral. The family's young son insists upon tucking in the orange cat each time he naps "so he knows that he lives at our house and will come back."

Sympson2612 says Tommy is “the sweetest, funniest, most patient cat I have ever met.”

Tommy was adopted by the family almost a year ago, but the son’s sweet ritual with his feline friend continues each day. According to the family, their son is also teaching his younger sister how to take good care of Tommy.
